At this moment, Nijika smiled sullenly and turned the cards over, saying...

"It's me, Xiao Wang." But she glanced at Xiang and said generously, "Xiang, feel free to ask me anything."

After thinking for a moment, Xiang asked, "What are Nijika's hobbies?"

"Let's play the drums..."

Nijika was a little unsure. "I like a lot of things, but my favorite is probably playing drums."

"This is too bland. Let's ask something that will get everyone excited."

Ishikawa Hayato, acting like a spoiled child, cried out, "Nijika said I can ask her anything, even which bed she likes to sleep in the most!"

"Hayato-kun, I'm getting angry!"

Nijika put on a stern face, but seeing that Ishikawa Hayato quickly became obedient, she smiled helplessly and indulgently.

Private life issues...

Hibiki was a little excited; she would have been even more excited if it weren't about her own brother.

As for the question of excitement, having just experienced those frightening questions, Xiang is a little hesitant to ask boldly.

But she also felt that these questions could be asked during breaks, as the women were all very gentle and wouldn't get angry even if she asked something a little too outrageous while playing games.

In the next round, after the girls had taken all their cards, Ishikawa Hayato glanced at the last card, then flipped it over with a sigh, revealing the black and white Joker.

After noticing this, the five people quickly looked at the cards in their hands.

Looking at the cards in her hand, Ikuyo's bright eyes curved into crescent moons with laughter.

"Did you just say it was too bland, Hayabusa-kun?"

Ikuyo held the playing card in front of her face with both hands. The small card made her face look incredibly small, and compared to the pure white card, her apricot-colored skin with a rosy blush was extremely sweet.

Ishikawa Hayato never expected to shoot himself in the foot this time, but he wasn't afraid at all. He leaned back on the sofa and put his hands on the backrest.

"Ask!"

"Among the people here, is it possible that someone will come along whom you like even more than Ichiri-chan?"

Seeing Ikuyo's gentle smile, Ishikawa Hayato sat up a little straighter and spoke in a softer voice.

"Yes, except for one that locks affection."

Hibiki knew without even thinking who the person she liked was. While feeling disappointed, she also felt a sense of relief, since the person was at least a special case.

Ryo looked at Nijika, Nijika looked at Ikuyo with a slightly surprised expression.

Liang asked the question earlier because she wanted to take this opportunity to safely bring the issue to the forefront. Now that Nijika has finally moved in, she wanted to take this opportunity to remind the two of them to avoid any psychological gap later.

However, it seems they were prepared, and Ikuyo even helped defuse the bomb they had just hidden.

This time, Ishikawa Hayato quieted down again when he shuffled the deck.

Ishikawa Hayato shuffled the cards, arranged the six cards in two rows, and after the girls had picked up their cards, he slammed his hand on the table and flipped over the last ordinary card, amidst their expectant gazes.

I know I can't ask Ishikawa Hayato anymore.

They looked at the cards in their hands with slight disappointment.

Two seconds later, Nijika put Xiao Wang down on the table and said in a relaxed manner.

Who asked me that?

Knowing that it wasn't Ishikawa Hayato asking her, she was already half relieved.

Liang smiled and, seeing Nijika's suddenly grim expression, put down the cards.

"I."

Nijika felt she had put her mind at ease too soon.

Liang seemed to have already planned what to ask, and asked the question very decisively.

"How did you fall in love with the falcon?"

Suddenly, the eyes of several girls in the living room lit up. Love stories are the easiest way to stir the hearts of teenagers in their budding adolescence.

And it's based on the person involved's own account!

Nijika looked at Nijika with an excited expression, as if to say, "This is exactly what I wanted to hear."

Nijika naturally noticed Xiang's expression. She secretly glanced at Xiang, feeling even more ashamed and indignant.

I said this with the mindset that I didn't want you to fall into my hands later.

"It's just... because Hayato-kun was always around me, helping me, and without realizing it, my attention shifted from the band's affairs to him... and Hayato-kun also said he liked me... although at that time he was... um, also with..."

Nijika didn't dare look at anyone else, keeping her head down and staring at the coffee table, her fair fingers rubbing the surface.

"Hmm... the rest has nothing to do with how I fell in love with her!"

Liang, who loved watching the drama unfold, urged.

"Go on, what do you like about it? When did you start liking it? What does it feel like to like someone?"

Nijika's face darkened, and without even caring that Xiang was still beside her, she pulled out her drumsticks.

Liang, who had just been smug, got up and ran away without hesitation.

Nijika chased after her immediately.

While Hitori and Ikuyo turned to eat their snacks as usual, Hibiki stared dumbfounded as the two ran away, while Ishikawa Hayato chuckled happily.

A moment later, Nijika, clutching the collar of Liang's clothes—which had a swollen bump on her head and a deathly expression on her face—pulled her back.

At that moment, Xiang realized who was in charge of this family.

She began to respect the shortest blonde sister-in-law who had scolded her brother and beaten up the other sisters-in-law.

When Nijika returned, she saw Xiang and remembered that there was someone in the house who needed her to maintain a certain image. She paused for a moment and then hurriedly apologized.

"Oh, Hibiki, I'm so sorry, this person went too far."

Xiang nodded obediently, but she no longer dared to be presumptuous in front of her sister-in-law.

Nijika glared at Liang again, but Liang, who had already been beaten once, knew he wouldn't be beaten again. He calmly stared at the swollen bump, picked up a piece of cake, and started eating.

Nijika sighed and looked at Ishikawa Hayato.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled and nodded, indicating that he would take care of it.

Nijika sat down comfortably.

In the warm hall, six people sat on sofas surrounding a coffee table, continuing their truth-or-dare game.

The aroma of food, along with curiosity about others' inner thoughts, flowed into my heart.

They incorporated questions that are normally difficult to ask into the game's questions.

During the game, Xiang was asked questions by several of his sisters-in-law.

What are Hibiki's interests?

"What do you like?"

"How about we go have some fun sometime?"

Do you like music?

Hibiki answered all the questions asked by the four people with great tact, and they gained a more genuine understanding of him.

Thanks to the game and the explanations from the other people, Hibiki also gained a clearer understanding of the personalities of his sisters-in-law.

Sister- Hitori Yili spends most of her time practicing guitar and doing housework.

When she has free time, she'll cuddle with her brother as she did before, but she rarely takes the initiative. She'll basically just sit next to him and then be pulled over and hugged, which she's happy to do.

She's a complete homebody; she rarely goes out unless someone takes care of her, and she's very shy around strangers.

Besides her family, Sister- Ikuyo also maintains her social circle, occasionally going out with other female friends, and many of the souvenirs in the house are things she brought back.

According to Liang's sister-in-law's revelation, this person would sometimes suddenly disappear with the head of the household, only to return after a long while, blushing and with weak legs.

Judging from their attitude, the information is likely true, and it probably is; Liang's sister-in-law got beaten up again.

Liang's wife is the kind of person who does things entirely according to her own whims. She doesn't really care about housework and only does it when she's in a good mood.

I usually read comics, play games, listen to music, and occasionally go out for a stroll.

She is the primary controller of the TV remote at home, with her sister-in-law Ikuyo as her secondary controller.

When asked about how Ikuyo usually gets along with her older brother, Hibiki also asked the others.

When it got cold, none of them said anything, as if it was hard to explain. Even the older brother just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Highly suspicious.

Finally, Sister-in -Nijika, just like in our previous conversations, is the one who maintains the balance and order in the family, manages everyone in the household, and, when necessary, delivers divine punishment.

Moreover, she excels at practicing musical instruments, reading, and doing housework, and she dotes on her brother very much, as evidenced by the fact that even her tastes have changed.

She could be described as the perfect sister-in-law.

When the conversation turned to their relationship with their brother, the other sisters-in-law said, "They mostly talked about serious matters," and "He occasionally acted cute."

This made Hibiki feel like something was missing.

After getting to know each other fairly well, a lot of stimulating questions were asked. Seeing that the enthusiasm of the group for the game was waning and they were mostly chatting, Ishikawa Hayato spoke up.

"How about we watch a movie, or play some fun board games?"

"OK!"

"Let's watch a movie," Liang suggested directly.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled, stood up, and said.

"You two discuss it first. Xiang hasn't come to our house in a long time. I'll take her for a walk."

After saying that, he glanced at Nijika stood up.

The three walked from the living room to the hallway, turned into the first door, and Ishikawa Hayato led the way, introducing Hibiki.

"This is the restroom, and the bathroom is inside. You should remember that, right?"

"Hmm, it feels a bit different."

Xiang nodded, looking around at the room, which had changed quite a bit from the pristine white house he remembered.

On the bathroom mirror countertop, there were two lip balms and a comb.

The other cabinets were empty when she came last time, so they must be full of things this time, but she didn't look.

Nijika followed behind the two without saying much.

The three of them strolled around the place for a while and then left, heading next to Ishikawa Hayato's room.

Before entering the room, Nijika at Ishikawa Hayato's sleeve, and Ishikawa Hayato gently waved his hand that was hanging behind his back.

Even if there was anything left in the room that hadn't been cleaned up, he was confident he could destroy the evidence before his silly sister found out.

Xiang looked at the two who had suddenly stopped, not understanding what was going on.

Upon entering the room, Ishikawa Hayato turned on the lights and went inside; no introduction was even necessary.

The decorations he brought from home in his room say it all.

After the sound came in, he looked around and then fell silent.

She immediately noticed several scarves on the table, along with a small vanity mirror, hair clips, hair ties, and other girly items.

Aside from that, there was nothing else strange in the room, except for a suitcase that caught her attention slightly.

Hibiki thought for a moment, glanced at Nijika, tugged at Ishikawa Hayato's sleeve, and whispered to him.

"Brother, you and your wives aren't all here...?"

Unlike the man who lowered his voice, Ishikawa Hayato spoke directly without lowering his voice at all.

"I often sleep in this room."

Hibiki stared wide-eyed in disbelief, while Nijika behind her quickly deduced what Hibiki had asked based on Ishikawa Hayato's words.
